What I expect

Posts

For my final project in my class Living and Working in the
Virtual World, I have chosen to choose between virtual reality and artificial
intelligence.To begin, what is
artificial intelligence and virtual reality?In my idea, artificial intelligence is the idea of robotics having their
own mind, their, own intelligence, and can think on their own and choose their
own actions.For me, virtual reality is
a reality you can find digitally, a digital device that actually makes your
mind believe you are in a completely different location, and situation at a
certain time, when in reality you are right there in your living room!For this final project I am going to choose
artificial intelligence, and I want to discuss some pros and cons of artificial
intelligence.If we were able to create
artificial intelligence, I feel like our lives could become so much easier, or
so much harder.For starters, if we had
artificial intelligence could you imagine the possibilities? We could now have
an “Alexa” tha…

The dot com to dot bomb
bust.This is the topic I will be
discussing in my amazing blog before Thanks Giving this year.But before I start might as well, happy
Thanks Giving to all that read this.This lesson that we learned was taught by our very own Andrew Fry, and
it was taught very well, even had toy dinosaurs!To differ Andrew from all the other blogs we
have had that pertain to guest speakers, Andrew honestly kept me interested
more than any other speakers.I do not
know if that is because he is an actual teacher, or that he is just funny,
however he kept me interested throughout the lesson.We discussed how there are five stages to
creating a company stated by Andrew, and these five stages are the innocent
beginning, the boom, insanity, the bust, and the crawl back to sanity.The way he explained it was at first you are
beginning and kind of uneasy because you are fresh to the start, then it takes
off, then the insanity hits where it really is taking off and you can’t keep up
with it,…

To begin this blog about the
visit from our guest speaker Shad Rack, I would like to state that I am
thankful that I showed up to this class early so I could know what to do to
obtain the extra credit, and that is why my title for my blog is, “It’s not
just about being a programmer.”Shad was
about six feet tall, and looked to be middle aged man that seemed successful.I would say that he looked successful just in
the way he stood tall, wore business casual clothing, and spoke clearly and
precisely.Shad talked a lot about cloud
computing at first and described how we are going back to using that as a main
system again.Basically you can reach
all your data from one mainframe, instead of having multiple mainframes.Excuse if this sounds wrong, I paraphrased
Shad as much as possible on the definition of cloud computing.He created four companies I believe, however
he only discussed Airlift and Infoblox.I thought that his website airlift was pretty interesting for a couple
of reasons, but mai…

The
Startup.com movie gave me many insights about the internet boom and all the
startups.This particular movie had to
deal with three friends that came up with an idea to create a website that
allowed you pay federal fees online without having to leave your house, unless
you didn’t have internet at home.This
movie basically had three steps to it, the struggling to come up with a website
and the name, and to get funding, then to success with millions of dollars,
then to absolute failure.The three
founders were Tom, and Kaleil Izuz Tuzman.The first founder I believed to be very smart, he invested thousands of
dollars, then left early with about seven hundred thousand dollars. This may
seem like he ripped his buddies off, but it was smart considering he still had
another job and wasn’t fully invested into the website, and he was the only one
who ended up making profit from the startup. Tom seemed nice at first, but at
second glance, he really didn’t care. He openly stated as a CO-CEO tha…

Creating a website was an
interesting experience, with maybe a lot of emotional roller coasters! To start
off, it was interesting getting to know the language in which to make the website,
it felt like coding, however, it is just a markup of our language in a way that
the computer understands it.The only
difficult part was learning the mark up of the language, it took me maybe an
hour, but after that I was off and creating a website! I chose to create a
website based off of my favorite hobby because I would at least be passionate about
it. That would indeed be hiking! I thought
to myself that I have been hiking for years, and know how to adequately prepare
myself responsibly so I can hike safely. Based off of this knowledge, I made a
website that informed a person about what the ten essentials are for
hiking.The idea seemed simple, however I
ran into a couple of issues.I had to
learn how to change font size and color, and what font I actually wanted. Then
figuring how to format header…

In this blog I will be discussing the postal service, and email, and the differences between the two. Well first off, to define the postal service, it is mail sent from one person to another, through a government run program, and it is delivered by people. To define email, it is mail sent via the internet, and it is almost instant, with no use for human involvement. To compare the two, email is instantaneous, no people involved, costs nothing, while the us postal service takes time, can get lost, costs money, and in general just more work. Now you may be asking, why don't we just switch completely to email? Well to simply straight it, email still cannot transport mass, meaning it cannot send things such as presents for Christmas. This may happen in the future, but not for a very, very long time! However, the internet is used to send things such as gifts, just take a look at the very popular amazon. We use amazon to find a purchase, enter a mailing address,…

Erik Hanberg, visited my class and explained to us what he had done throughout his life to become successful. To be honest, he seemed very successful, and looked like he attempted and failed many things until after a plethora of hard work, he has succeeded. This is a work ethic that I have always believed in, work hard , and it will eventually pay off. It pays off cause eventually you get to do whatever you want when you want because you have saved up the money throughout the years. He started out working at a theatre, then tried to run his own, onto running a few websites and businesses, then his own website with his wife, now he has written many books and used the internet to become successful in selling them! This made me think of what I could use the internet for to make me successful. I started thinking of how I hike weekly, and have been to many amazing places. Well I figured if I took a social media such as Instagram, then start writing blogs for hiking compani…
